How long will it take for a baby’s bone fracture to heal?

The baby's physical health is affected by many factors, among which bone factors are a common problem. The baby's bones are slowly developed and have low bone density. They are very susceptible to external forces and suffer from fractures and other symptoms. This has a great impact on the baby's physical health. Moreover, the baby's bone fractures are of high degree and difficult to recover. Let's take a look at how long it will take for a baby's bone fracture to heal? I hope everyone can understand it.

Generally, children with bone fractures can gradually recover through functional exercises after three to four weeks. Just pay attention to protecting the child and don't let him or her exert too much force during exercise. Babies over one year old with bone fractures need timely treatment. Be careful not to touch the fracture. Children grow very fast when they are young. Balanced nutrition and sufficient supplementation of high-quality protein and mineral calcium can promote rapid bone growth.

Children's fracture injuries are different from those in adults. Children's bones are constantly growing and developing, and their physiological functions and biomechanical properties are constantly changing. Children's bones are less likely to break and displace completely due to their porous texture and hypertrophy of the periosteum. Most children's fractures do not require surgery, but if they occur near joints, especially when the growth plates are injured, surgical reduction is often required.

Children's fracture recovery is much faster than that of adults, so the recovery time is naturally much shorter. However, the specific length of recovery time is still closely related to the severity of the child's fracture. In addition, unlike adults, children have a strong fracture healing function and the deformity can correct itself after healing. Most pediatric fractures can be reduced. Sometimes the fracture reduction is not good and there is dislocation left. Children will use their strong plastic ability to correct the deformity themselves, of course within a certain range. However, epiphyseal fractures, intra-articular fractures, etc., if diagnosis and treatment are delayed, may cause abnormal healing and disability.

Children have a relatively strong ability to recover. During this period, let the children drink more pork rib soup and eat more meat, which is a calcium supplement. Generally speaking, the recovery should be very good in about a month. However, try to restrain the wound as much as possible, because if the baby moves frequently, it may cause abnormal healing and form additional bone callus.

Generally speaking, calcium supplementation is necessary in a timely manner after a bone fracture, and it takes more than three months for healing before weight bearing can be resumed. It is better to choose liquid calcium and solid calcium tablets for supplementation, or you can try bone fracture pills, which usually takes about three months to half a year.
